tx_send_cnt

queues_rx=20 (default 8)
Number of receive queues used by the network adapter for receiving network traffic.
queues_tx=12 (default 2)
Number of transmit queues used by the network adapter for transmit network traffic
rx_max_pkts=2048 (default 1024)
Receive queue maximum packet count
tx_send_cnt=16 (default 8)
Number of transmit packets chained for adapter processing

[pkashire1]

Thanks I found the details of that

Thanks
